Yes — alongside our specialty Siberians, we also breed British Shorthairs, British Longhairs and Siberian × British Shorthair mixes. We have past breeding experience with Ragdolls but no longer breed them. Please ask if you are interested in a specific breed.

Our mixed kittens are born to a Siberian and a British Shorthair parent; crossing two breeds increases genetic diversity, which is generally associated with a lower risk of the hereditary conditions seen in some purebred lines (individual results vary; this is not a health guarantee). They combine the Siberian's soft, plush coat with the British Shorthair's calm, affectionate temperament, at a more accessible price than our purebred kittens. As mixes, they do not come with a pedigree certificate.

Yes — cats aged 12 months and over are available to adopt directly. Their personality is already settled, and they are past the kitten stage of night-time crying, mischief and frequent vaccination visits, so no special care is needed (neutered or spayed cats also mean no heat-cycle concerns). They are a great match for first-time owners and households that are out during the day, ready to move in and start life with you today.

Visit location: 2-6-23 Higashinakahama, Joto-ku, Osaka (nearest station: Osaka Metro Midoribashi). You can visit by car. Visits are by appointment only — please contact us via LINE or the booking page in advance.

Of course! We explain food, litter, health care, and training in detail so first-time owners can adopt with confidence. You can consult us anytime via LINE after adoption — please rest assured.

The cattery is cleaned and disinfected daily to maintain a clean environment. Visitors are asked to disinfect their hands and wear shoe covers — kitten health is our top priority.

Purebred kittens come with a CFA or TICA pedigree certificate (mixed-breed kittens are not eligible). The certificate may be mailed from the registry after handover, so it can take a little time to arrive.

Purchase

Yes, we can deliver nationwide. Under Japan's Animal Welfare Act, the sales contract is concluded once, in person, at our registered premises (2-6-23 Higashinakahama, Joto-ku, Osaka), after you have seen the kitten and received the required explanation. After the contract, we can deliver by air or ground (airport hand-over available). Customers living far away are welcome to use a LINE video call for pre-consultation and an online viewing, then visit us once to sign. See the price guide for delivery fees.

Yes. We provide a free health guarantee: if a kitten passes away within 30 days of handover due to a congenital condition, we will provide a replacement kitten of the same breed (this guarantee covers replacement only, not treatment costs or a cash refund). To use it, please contact us the same day and provide a vet's death certificate and original test results. Certain causes — such as accidents, vaccine reactions, or care-related issues — are excluded. Full details are explained at contract time.

Prices vary by kitten. Please check the latest details on each kitten page or contact us on LINE.

A ¥50,000 reservation deposit is required to confirm a kitten. Once received, we stop taking inquiries from other customers and mark the kitten as reserved. Please pay the remaining balance by bank transfer before pickup where possible. If paying in cash, the full balance must be settled no later than handover day.

We aim for handover at around 2.5–3 months of age, depending on the kitten’s health and socialization progress. Earlier handover affects the kitten’s development, so we will guide you to the right timing.

Please contact us if there are unavoidable circumstances. For cancellations at the customer's discretion, however, the ¥50,000 reservation deposit cannot be refunded — please understand. Details are explained at contract time.

We accept cash and bank transfer (Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation / Japan Post Bank). If you would like to use another payment method, please ask us on LINE and we will confirm the details when you sign.

Care

Yes, you can consult us anytime via LINE after adoption — diet, health, training, anything. We provide lifelong support.

We feed Royal Canin Kitten formula at the cattery. We will tell you what your kitten currently eats at handover — please switch food gradually rather than abruptly.

Litter training is already complete by the time of handover. Using the same type of litter at home means most kittens transition smoothly.

Siberians are calm and sociable, so multi-cat households are a good fit. If you have a resident cat, we recommend gradual introduction (separate room → through-door → short same-room sessions). We are happy to advise.

Siberians have a triple coat, so 2–3 brushings per week are recommended. Daily brushing is ideal during shedding seasons (spring/autumn). Helps prevent mats and supports skin health.

Trim claws about every two weeks. Getting kittens used to it early makes adult life easier. If you are unsure, we are happy to demonstrate during your visit — just ask.

Health

Siberians produce less Fel d1 allergen than other breeds, but individual sensitivity varies. We can extend visit time so you have a longer in-room compatibility check. Feel free to consult us via LINE.

The first vaccination (age-appropriate) is completed before handover. The second and subsequent vaccines should be given at your local vet after adoption. A vaccination certificate is included. (A separate vaccination fee of ¥10,000 applies in addition to the kitten price.)

Yes, all parent cats are tested for PKD (polycystic kidney disease), HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) and other genetic markers. Test results are available for review. We do everything we can to deliver healthy kittens.

Generally around 6–8 months of age is appropriate. Please consult your vet for the right timing. We are happy to support you on LINE with any questions.

Siberians are generally healthy, but HCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy) and PKD (polycystic kidney disease) require attention. We genetically test all parent cats to reduce risk. Regular health checks are also recommended.

Yes, by Japanese law all kittens are microchipped before handover. We will guide you through the owner-information transfer process — please rest assured.
